Here’s something we tell our customers all the time, the secret to a great Cemita Poblana, is simple love what you do, and only use the best meats and seasons. That’s what our grandparents told us, and we've carry that same tradition to our cooking methods. Our menu is simple: three entrees (cemitas, tacos arabes, tostadas) that's it a nice and simple menu. But various combinations of assembling a delicious gourmet sandwich on-the-go!

We started in 1991 in small food truck, now we're rocking in a restaurant.

We started the cemita poblana crazed back in 1991 in a food truck near Salazar Park. In a community that was built on cheap tacos, we changed the minds and tummies by bringing traditional Poblano style flavors to East Los Angeles.

In 2005 we moved into a restaurant, and have expanded our menu with tacos arabes, tostadas and many other fast food items. Your family will be delighted with our food, we hope that we can become an important part of your food life.
